FIA concedes Singapore GP penalty mistakes
“Verstappen was investigated by the stewards for impeding incidents during qualifying, blocking Tsunoda and Sargeant on track and forming a queue in the pitlane. He received reprimands but no penalties for his actions. Red Bull was fined €5000 for a lack of communication. The decisions were criticized as grid drops are traditionally given for impeding incidents. The FIA admitted that both Verstappen and Sargeant should have received grid drops. The stewards determined that the teams were more at fault than the drivers. The decisions will not be used as a precedent in the future. There are questions about how a grid penalty would have affected Verstappen’s race.”
